He probably wanted his saddle height changed again

Paris-Nice this year. Søren Kragh Andersen wants to have his saddle height adjusted before the start of a stage. Just a few millimeters. But the Dane gets a 'njet' from the team management. These are just two examples that show that the leadership of Team DSM, as the team is called today, rules with a pretty heavy hand. At least, that's how we – the outside world – see it anyway.

Can a rider not want a different saddle height? “Of course it is,” Winston says. “Outside the competitions he can contact the bikefitter and discuss the problem. There is a good chance that there will be an adjustment. Then that will be adjusted in all logbooks and all bicycles will be tackled. Which can. But we don't want a rider to make bad choices. Are we wrong with that? I do not think so. Unfortunately, the outside world only gets to hear one side of the story. Why am I not being called to explain this?”
